Don't eat it...it might kill you...however, I'll buy it off you if you've kept it on ice.

I spent nearly 3 hours looking to shoot one over the last three days. We make "trigger fingers" and drink Don Julio to celebrate summer...which we've plum run out of time on. I thought the little nippers might have been gone already.

I watched one hide for cover under a sailboat while 3 small blues were harassing the crap out of it while snorkeling in Newport last year. Cool looking fish. The one I saw was a little different though.

They are pretty cool fish, not sure what species that is, but some of them can be very brightly colored.

I've seen them in fish tanks before, VERY awesome to put feeder goldfish in the tank and watch it chase them around and eat them, you can actually hear its teeth snapping at the goldfish.

very cool. Thanks for posting that.

I did a search on triggerfish ;

there are about 5 different kinds/ all have the same basic shape / but the colors really vary .
& the locals in Florida consider them good eating ;;
